Entertainment Projector (Laptop & GameConsole)?

{{Dani}}

Ok so i have been reading about this Discovery Wonderwall Projector for about 60$ on friday. It sounds great but i was wondering how well it works and if anyone can hook it up to a laptop??

Actually, it would do me more help if anyone knows any other entertainment projectors. Honestly I do not want or need a tv, i only play games (PS2 and Wii) and use the interent in my house to stream shows. So honestly if anyone can help me find a cheap projector (under 150$) for this I would be grateful. From what I have heard the wonderwall will not hook up in anyway to my laptop.

Answer
hi dani

i haven't seen the projector in question but honestly - you can forget it. it uses a 50W halogen bulb which will give a very very weak image (even in a totally dark room) and the maximum resolution is
480 x 240 which is very low (your mp3 player probably has better picture quality!).. save your money!

you can pick up a really good DLP projector with 800x600 resolution and around 2000 lumens (bright enough for playing PS2 etc) new for around $300, so on ebay you might pick one up for around $150 etc etc

or go for the new PICO projectors (very small) but again they are poor-quality images and not really bright.. the best i've seen is a laser version

good luck!

Can anyone refer me to a Entertainment Projector under 500 Dollars?

I really want a projector for my home!!!

Answer
Price Grabber is an awesome site that you can shop from but most importantly they have customer reviews and product info.
I quickly checked it out and found several. You can set parameters like price range on the left of the screen after being directed to the projectors. The price is obtainable but only if you choose not to buy a screen because I've looked into it myself. Screens alone cost a couple hundred bucks I think that special paint is available for walls then projector sizing will not be a problem. Good luck.

Does a 'discovery expedition entertainment projector' hook up to dish satellite?

mrs g.:)

I'm thinking about buying one of these projectors for christmas and I was just wondering if it will hook up to dish network.
Also does it hook up to a laptop?
I know it hooks up to a game system and dvd player.
This stuff isn't deal breakers. It would just be better if it would hook up to dish.

Anything helps. Thank you.
I looked up on other questions about this projector and people say that this kind isn't any good. Is that true and what are the reasons?

Answer
This is what I call a Children's Novelty Projector, it isn't a real projector.

The resolution of this projector is so poor, it is borderline ridiculous. To be more technical, the resolution of the discovery projector is 480x240, which is 115,200 pixels (worse than standard definition). The resolution of a modern Home Theater projector is likely to be 1920x1080, which is 2,073,600 pixels, i.e. almost 2 million more pixels of detail.

With such a poor resolution, the image will lack detail and be very blocky, and I imagine the picture will also be quite blurry just based on the cost an assumed build quality of the projector.

The bulb is also likely to be very cheap and low-powered, making it difficult to see the projection unless it is fairly dark.

As for your original question, it can connect to a Dish TV receiver, but it cannot connect to a laptop (without a converter).
